London Bridge

Chapter 2

In my childhood, I was always surrounded with high- spirits. I had one sister and a big brother. I was just 5, when my brother got his scholarship but on the other end of the pole, was my sister that  was always surrounded with guys that did dastardly deeds.  

My mum was just 19 when she married my dad. It was a love affair in which she eloped with my father to England since both my grand- father's were enemies and were thought to have had them killed rather than seeing them getting married at such a youthful age. Also, at that time, my mum was pregnant with my brother, Jude. 

Everything was pretty much complicated at that time but it was all soughted out for some time when Jude was born.  I came into the world on 14th feb, 1999. My father said that when I was born, I was giggling at the sight of my dad and my mum together. Maybe it was because I realised that my life was nothing but a big living joke.

My dad always wanted a son that could become a pilot and make him gloat with pride. My mother loved him as dearly as my father did. My sister or rather say my half- sister, Jane was born when my I was 7. My mother got engaged to a half- finnish and half- american blond. He was 5 years older than my mum. 

Our family was just one dream that bursted, making a bigger noise than the bomb, breaking our hearts into countless pieces. Well today was the culmination to it. My parents were finally get divorced as their paperwork would be over by today and I would be living with my mum on the school days and the rest 2 days at my dad's bungalow.

Jude would be joining me in this catch and throw game as we enjoy our lives falling apart with our parent's marriage. "What are you watching Chris?" My brother called from behind, chewing on his apple whilst fixing his messy hair. He walked towards the sofa, pushed my legs and sat, his one leg down and the other on top of the sofa. "T.V" I said in a monotonous tone. "hmmm.. they're gone?" He asked taking another bite of the apple. " Nope. just lying there cuddling with each other. making love." I said once again in my sarcastic dull tone. "Can you ever give me a straight answer? I am your brother." " Is that supposed to be good news?" I said, annoyingly. "Look I know that it is hard, okay? but don't make it worse.." He said throwing me a disgusted look.

 "uhuh.. Where is Maia?" I asked just to drive away his long  speech . "You know where she will be." He said with a gasp turning his face towards the television. 

MAIA'S P.O.V

" ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE! WOOOOOHHHOOO!!!"  cheered the crowd as one more shot went down my throat, prickling with warmness and sourness. I shook my head in disgust as I removed my heels and climbed up the slab where the drinks were served and screamed at top of my voice " BEAT THIS! B*TCHES!" and I started to strip off throwing my black skirt at one fat guy and my blouse on the bartender.

I screamed at the top of my voice along with the crowd cheering for me, my voice mixing with theirs. My mind was not at its best senses and my body was swaying like a swing. My eyes searching for a fling, caught a tall white man as he entered through the enterence gate, his friends whispering in his ears.I could see him looking at me intently as he took a sip of his drink. I took back my skirt and a jacket covering myself up.

I descended down, took one last shot and started walking towards him.Taking him by my hand, we walked towards the exit and out of the club filled with roaring crowd.
